This is a simple activity for pairing kids for any activity on the first day of school. Give each student a puzzle piece that matches the piece of one other student in the class. On your signal, the students must find each other. You might use this activity to pair students to interview one another. The class might brainstorm some interview questions to get kids started. Those questions could be posted on an overhead transparency or a chart for all students to see. Gianna Tringali, W. E. Cottle Elementary School, Tuckahoe, New York
